useless ; if merely disliked, his exhortations may do good, and he may purchase a few creature comforts so necessary to all, however spiritual their occupation. But in no few cases it will so +occur, that the tithes and dues of his benefice are the only means the in cumbent has to support his family. How then is his situation to be pitied . ,, whose only support comes from those tithes ar d d dues which are grudgingly doled out to him, or I . ;)tallv withheld ; whose payment is at tended with 'execrations, and regarded as little, if any, short of d palpable robbery. For a time these things must be endured ; but we hope a period will arrive when justice will be allowed to have her sway. Until that period does arrive, let the clergy calmly and steadily pursue their rights, but with that happy discrimina tion, which, teaching them the distinction between legal rights and positive justice, will lead them to the golden mean ensuring them their equitable privileges, attended with the love and respect of their flocks.

The accounts from the manufacturing districts show as yet no mitigation of distress. We are gratified at learning, however, from an individual likely to be well informed, that the attention of Ministershas of late been very seriously occupied with this subject, and that they have determined on appropriating a considerable sum from the Treasury for the relief of the unhappy per sons who are rendered wholly destitute by/the present calamity. Neither the made nor the extent of the re. I t l ef have yet, we believe, been decided on ; but that this case is an exception to the common rule that a Government cannot usefully interfere in relieving the wants of the people, is,. we hear, fully admitted. In fonnation has been received by Government, founded on pretty accurate data, that in Lancashire alone there are at this moment near 800,000 human creatures who are absol u t e l y without employment. In the Colonial Market, appearances continue to be somewhat more favourable, but demand is not very extensive in any one article, The hold ers seem gene rally to abstain from selling under the impression that prices have near l y reached their lowest point, and that the pre sent a b undance of money will invite speculation, by which a portion at least of their recent losses may be retrieved. from A a All those capit a li sts who hope to derive advantage rise of Prices, whether of goods or of funded pr?perty, urge with a ll their influence , both on the Directors of the Bank an d on t ers,such me a sur e s as are likely to ma k e m o ssyy still rxulchmo more a b un d ant .

We sincerely hope, in the new improve n.)ente of the metropolis, some more appropriate situa en will be allotted to the indefatigable proprietor t w o_ e nabl e . hi m to display them to more advantage, inch the British public have long been desirous of seeing carried into effect. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY..—(Tat: MT.) FRACTICI IN THE ACCOUNTANT-GENERAL'S OFFICE. It will be recollected that a few days ago we reported a statement made by Mr. Horne to this effect :—An or der was made by the Court below on a petition, directing the Accountant-General to transfer a sum of money; a petition of appeal was immediately presented to this branch of the Court, which his Lordship answered for the next day of petitions. The appellant left a copy of that ap peal in the Accountant-General's Office, and without any order restraining the transfer, the Accountant-General re fused to pay over the money. Upon this statement being made by Mr. Horne, on the behalf of the party entitled to have the transfer by the decree, the Lord Chancellor said, that the Accountant-General was not authorised to refuse making the transfer. This was communicated to the Accountant-General, who attended at a quarter before ten o'ciock in the hall to day, stating that it was necessary he should see the Chan cellor. Mr. Horne arrived in Court before the little King found admittance to the Lord Chancellor, to whom the Accountant-General communicated his object. He said, that he had made strict enquiry into this point of practice, and found that for the last twenty-five years the transfer of money in his office had always been stayed by the pre senting of a petition of appeal, and if that practice were now to be altered, he certainly should require the direct order of the Lord Chancellor to that effect. Mr. Horne, sans ceremonie told him he certainly was much surprised to hear such a statement. It was a perfect matter of course when a petition of appeal was presented to the Lord Chancellor, for his 'Lordship to answer it, and if the practice the Accountant-General contended for was to be obtained, the result would be, that in every case where money was ordered to he paid out of Court just before the recess, by any branch of the Court, the unsucc e s sful party would only have to present a petition of a pp ea l, and by that means the fund would unavoidably be locked up the whole of the long vacation. If the Accountant-General could under such circumstances stay the transfer of money, he certainly would be a much greater man than the Lord Chancellor; but if he did so in a case in which he (Mr. Horne) was a party, in whose favour the transfer had been ordered, and if any thing were lost by the falling of the funds between the staying of the transfer and the order for payment, upon the hearing of the appeal, he should unquestionably bring an action against him for the loss. Mr. Harvey said, when that happened, he should give Mr. Horne his bond for the amount of the loss. The Accountant-General then had an interview with the Chancellor, in his private room, and upon His Lordship's ei.ing the Court he addressed himself to Mr. Horne thusWThe Accountant-General has been with me, Mr. Horne, upon the matter of that order of transfer, you did me the favour to speak about; and I find from him, that the practice of the office, without interrup tion, has been, for about thirty years, that where an order is made on a motion to transfer money, upon notice of an appeal being given to stay the transfer of the money, the order is stopped. Mr. Horne—The order was made upon a petition. Ilis Lordship--I mean, upon a petition; but it is the same thing: for about thirty years together, where money is ordered to be paid, or a fund transferred, where notice of an appeal is given, the practice in the office has been to stay the order on the petition or the motion. I put this to the Accountant-General. The practice is very sin gular, if it be so, because, if there be a decree, and that de cree orders money to be paid or a fund transferred, this Court does not stay proceedings under that decree upon mere notice of an appeal from the decree, but upon a mo tion to stay the proceedings. The practice, however, has been different for 30 years, in the Accountant-Gene ral's Office ; and it appears to me, that the Court must give some orders to the Office, either to establish, Or to alter that practice. But I cannot see any difference be tween staying proceedings in the Accountant-General's Office, and proceedings under a decree in this Court. If that be so, and this Court will refuse to stay the proceed ings under a decree, how can you reconcile that principle with what is done in the Accountant-General's Office ? Mr. Horne—Your Lordship will recollect too, that the payment of money is almost always ordered upon a motion or a petition. His Lordship—l told-Mr. Harvey I should mention it in Court this morning, and, that unless I heard something stated to me in Court, which had not occurred to myself, I should send him a rule to the office on Monday. Where there is a decree ordering payment, or transfer, then the Accountant-General himself admits, that they don't stay the payment or transfer without a notice of motion to stay the proceedings having been given ; and that they go farther than that, for they take upon themselves to judge (and, perhaps very properly so) whether that notice of motion was or was not regularly followed up. • Mr. Horne—My Lord, I felt peculiarly satisfied to have occasion to mention this point of practice—a most im portant point to the public, when a gentleman was in the office, so well calculated to fill it, and so anxious to act correctly as Mr. Harvey was; and, therefore, I hope that that officer will not imagine this was intended as a complaint *against him. His Lordship—No, no; he has no notion of that sort, lam quite sure. But finding this to have been the prac tice in the office for thirty years, he did not like to alter it without an application to me ; and if any thing occurs to any gentleman at the bar, in the course of this day, upon the dissimilarity of the practice, I shall feel greatly obliged to hear it. Nothing, how Over, was stated further upon it in the course of the day that .we heard. cArrs V. HUTTON. His Lordship stated that he had considered this case, and his opinion was, that the Vice Chancellor's opinion ought to be confirmed, which he accordingly did. The Vice Chancellor refused the granting . of the Injunction to restrain the defendant from practising as an Attorney within ten miles of Epworth, where his late principals practised, agreeable to a stipulation in his articles, on the ground that it was the duty of the principals to have ten dereil a proper bond to the defendant to that effect, for his execution, upon his attaining the age of 21 years. Mr. Bickersteth applied for the costs as against the plaintiffs. His Lordship ordered the costs of the appeal. By this decision the defendant is relieved from the obligation in his articles. His Lordship desired just to observe further, that he had perceived there had been a misunderstanding in what had been sent forth to the world in this case ' when it was last b e f ore hi m. It had been reporte d, t h at he had inti mated, an attorney could not be limited to practice in any place.ParticelareourtofN K ow iug this is hedid not presume to intimate, after theßench had decided to the contrary. EMPEROR OF' RUSSIA.- GREW V. SOMERVILLE. to think of this • Mr• Sugden hoped the Court would have the gaodneas client had just'cori4 of age, and was much in want of the money, every shilling of case, and dispose o f speedily. His poor whiCh was tied up in Court 1 1 the order of the Vi ce - Chancellor. He believed his Lord ship had all the Merl, and he had hoped the Russia would have withdrawn his claim. Mr. Hart contra...-Well, but my Lord Chancellor Emperor of happens not to be the present or past Emperor of Russia, mid we are here upon a question of debtor and creditor. Mr. Sugden—You don't say so I Mr. Hart—l do, indeed. His Lordship—Well, I shall attend to it, but I don't know that the Emperor of Russi a , L— una not a much more comfortable situation than the Chancellor of England. PRACTICE IN ABANDONING MOTIONS. Mr. Sugden applied for the costs of a motion Mr. Horne was to have made against his client, but which he now understood was abandoned. Mr. Horne contended Mr. Sugden had lost th e oppor tunity of applyi ng f or t h e costs. Notice of the motion in question had been given seven months ago, and the mo tion had been abandoned for the last half year. If the costs could have been asked for, the application ought to have been made long ago. Mr. Sugden was astonished that this statement had been made by his Learned Friend. On every motion day he had his brief in his bag, and he had delayed men tioning it until to-day, from courtesy to Mr. Horne. Neither he nor his client ever knew that the motion had been abandoned until now. His Lordship desired to be regularly informed when both Mr. Sugden and his client knew that Mr. Horne's motion had been abandoned, and, upon that statement should the Court decide the question in dispute. ATTORNZY-GENERAL V. SKINIgia COMPANY.-WILLMAN Y. How SING. His Lordship stated that he should give judgment in these two cases on Tuesday next. The latter is the cue in which an old gentleman, a few days ago, asked for judgment, which his Lordship stated he should attend to, but that the oftener the party asked for it, the less likely was he to get it. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.—(Try DAy.) The Seal which commenced on Monday last did not terminate until this day. It was the longest that has ever occurred in this Court—a fact which is clearly illustrative of the extraordinary increase of business in Chancery. Mr. Spince was instructed to make a motion, with which he was rather unwilling to trouble the Court. It was for an order to have the sum of 241. paid into Court. He was aware that the expences attending such an order would exceed the sum itself. It was much to be desired that some rule should be made, fixing upon a minimum for such applications. His Honour had made an order yesterday for paying 32/. into Court, and he could not tell his client that a similar order would not be granted for 241. The Vice Chancellor said, that there ought to be a rule for such applications; but he could not grant this motion, as the expences would amount to more than the sum itself. GWYN/ V. LYNX. Mr. Knight moved the Court to restrain the defendant, a money lender, from proceeding on a bond given to him by the plaintiff, for the sum of 7001., which he had swelled by the various devices practised by money-lenders, into a sum of 23001., for which he now held a post obit bond. The plaintiff had offered him a compensation of 16001., which was more than equivalent to his just demands—he hoped that under these circumstances his Honor would extend to his client the protection of the Court. The Vice-Chancellor—You must pay the 1,600/. into Court, Mr. Knight. Mr. Knight consented, and the motion was accordingly granted. SURREY SESSIONS.—(Tins DAY.) T. Williams was indicted for stealing in a dwelling house. He went into the house of a tradesman m Rotherhithe, in the middle of the day, and was walking off with some wearing apparel, when he was met by the ser vant girl, who courageously detained him till she had raised the alarm. The Prisoner made no defence, and was sentenced to six months' hard labour at the Tread Mill. Richard James was found guilty of stooling a marquee from the premises of Richard Walkham, in Water-lane, Brixton, to whom it belonged. The case was fully proved, and he was sen tenced to six months' hard labour. Three boys, named John Bond, James Lawrence, and George I?ichardson, were indicted for stealing an umbrella. One of them went into an umbrella shop, while the other two remained at dif ferent distances. The one in the shop handed an umbrella to the others, and they all three ran off together. They were pursued by the shopnian, who, when he. bad nearly overtaken them, heard one of them say to another, "Ding it, or we shall be grabbed. The other directly threw it away, but they were all taken. The pri soner Bond bad in his posseasion a -centreAft," a file, , and 4 phos phorus-box.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.7(This DAT.), Three operatives employed in ' the East India Com pany's warehouses, were brought up on a charge of having assaulted two old men. One of them, an old gentleman, who seemed to be a Methodist Preacher, and wore a suit of sables, appeared with his eyes also in mourning, and stated, that yesterday he was passuignearßishopsgate-street, when he observed the three defendants "larking with an old man. They exerrised their manual witupon lum, nmbehind him andkicked him ; knocked his hat down over his eyes, and pulled him back every time he made an attempt to escape from them. The complainant interfered in behalf of the old man to deliver him, and succeeded in effecting his escape, but was himself immediately seized' upon as a fresh subject for fun. They renewed their sport, and he did not escape from them until he had got a pair of black eyes. Some other persons spoke of the general character of this class of operatives—they had good wages, and they were only employed from six in the morning until two in the afternoon, and afforded a sample of what might be expect ed from the abridgement of the hours of labour for most of this class. They chiefly spent their extra time in riot at public houses, or in amusements like those now related, and neither their wives nor their families benefitted by their leisure. Nothing was to be expected in the way of improvement, at least from the great majority of the pre sent generation of operatives. The defendants were ordered to find bail to answer for the assault at the Sessions. BOW-STREET--(Tins DAT.) Henry Hegan was brought up under a charge of h av i ng thrust his hand into a gentleman's pocket with an inten tion of stealing something therefrom; it did not appear that he had taken any thing, for one very good reason, there happened to be nothing therein at the time—but one of the officers having recognized him as being charged with a similar offence before, he was committed as a re p u t e d thief (as the Act requires), to the Hou se o f C orrect i on f or one month. NOCTURNAL ARROSTATION. The following are the particulars given by Mr. Green of his as cent from Vauxhall, last night : On riving from the earth, we found ourselves, by the ignition of the port-fires, at the bottom of the gardens, suddenly surround ed by a powerful blue light, which imparted a Similar tint to the countenances of the numerous groups in the gardens. On the ex tinction of this light, the Metropolis burst upon us in all its mag nificence. It seemed a vast wildernem, with stars profusely scat tered on all parts of its surface. The roads appeared so many dotted lines of fire. W e had taken with ns a Bengal light, at tached at a sufficient depth below the car of the balloon not to be dangerous, and which was now set on fire. The light from it was distinctly to be seen by the persons in the gardens. When about 4,000 feet from tbs earth, we found ourselves sud denly becalmed directly over St. James's Perk, but rising 2,000 feet higher, we entered an opposite current of air, which carried us back again nearly directly over Vauxhall Bridge. Here, en attempting to descend, we ag ain experienced a change of current, and were carried by it hick again till we found ourselves over St. James's Park, wh ere again we were becalmed. By throwing out ballast, we brought ourselves into the upper current, and were carried by it as b e f ore . I n rhis manner we were compelled to cross and menus the Ri ver D O lOU than six times at the same point, before we er ec t e d a descent, which at la s t was made, though not without difficulty, from this conflict of currents, at Merton, in Surrey, from which plarv , we returned to the Gar dens, at a little after three o'clock this morning. Mr. Green was accompanied by Mr. Barham, of Oxford- Market, and a gentleman of the name of Care. Robert Sp:, tried at the last Glasgow Circuit with Dollan, and sentenced to transportation for life, re turned from Edinburgh on Friday afternoon, to his friends, with a free pardon, it having been discovered from the most satisfactory evidence that the conviction against him proceeded on an error. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. Yesterday afternoon, at seven o'clock, his MAJESTY arrived at the Royal Lodge. His MAJESTY was not attended by any military escort in travelling to town or on his returning. Yesterday the Duke of Dorset and the Earl and Countess of Warwick arrived at the Royal Lodge, on a visit to his MAJESTY. This day his MAJESTY, with his distinguished visitors and attendants, will dine at Virginia Water. Some additional company is expected. Mr. Secretary Peel has had several interviews with the Duke of York during the present week. The Duke of York took his daily ride on horseback on Thursday. Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Secretary of State's Office for Foreign Affairs, which was attended by the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington, the Earls of Liverpool, Harrowby, Westmoreland, and Bathurst, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Secretary Canning, Viscount Melville, Mr. Hus kisson, Mr. Wynn, &c. All the Cabinet Ministers had assembled by a few minutes after two o'clock, except the Lord Chancellor, and the noble and learned Lord's presence being es sential, to have his sentiments and sanction to the im portant business to be discussed, for which the Cabinet Council was summoned on Wednesday night, they waited the arrival of his Lordship till near half-past three o'clock, when the deliberations commenced, but did not continue of a lengthened duration, as the Cabinet Council broke up a few minutes after five o'clock. Yesterday, about half-past twelve o'clock, the Earl of Liverpool received a deputation of manufacturers, said to be from Birmingham. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mr. Secre tary Peel, accompanied the Noble Earl to receive the deputation, which occupied the attention of the Minis ters,about three quarters of an hour. Yesterday, after the breaking up of the Cabinet Council, the Chancellor of the Exchequer left town for Charlton, in Kent. On Thursday the Cabinet Ministers dined with Mr. Secretary Canning. POOR OLD COBBETT. This precious disciple of Torn Paine has addressed a letter to Mr. Canning in his usual style, on the state of the country. The most amusing feature of this epistle, is the high tone which honest lago as sumes over the Right Honourable Gentleman, by say ing, that all the measures which the Cabinet must resort to are the measures of Cobbett! and the moment these measures are adopted, then, says this modest man, " I am your master !" After this bounce, down comes " the patriot" from his high estate, and. humbly supplicates the Right Ron. Gentleman finr a seat in Parliament ! We give the following extract to illustrate the assurance of the Preston Candidate:— But, what puzzles me exceedingly is, the grounds upon which you reckon on escaping from being compelled, at last, to acknow ledge me your master. A stone toned up into the air will not snore assuredly find its way to the ground, than your system will find its way to a state of prostration. I must triumph over you. It is not in nature that I should fail. Yon can coin your body into sovereigns as easily as you can continue to pay the interest of the debt in full in a currency of gold. Trick after trick,contrivance after contrivance, may be put in motion • miserable respites may be obtained; delusion may still do something ' • but Lavender, the lato London thief:4*km'; and Oritnalgwrs.64Mayor Preston sun cause victuals and drink to . in abundance into the dwellings of the, unfbrtnnate weavers and splisisets of Lancashire, as easily as you and your colleagues can pay the full interest of the debt in a currency of silver and gold.' You do not believe this? Is it so? So much the worse for ,yon if it be so ; for your surprise and mortification will be the greater. We are now living amongst the last tricks and contrivances of the system. It is in the very nature of this system to produce, in the end, starvation in the midst of plenty. This is its peculiar at tribute. It is now producing this effect ; but this is its end ; like the viper, which naturalists tell us of, as being of so very poison ous a nature all through that it kills itself generally by biting its own tail. So this system, having first destroyed every thing within its reach, will finish with the destroying of itself. In Conclusion, Sir, let me remind you that ion have frequently mid that you liked to see demagogues in Parliament; that you liked to see them there, because they soon found their level and and became insignificant. Now, Mr. Canning, let me put your sincerity to the test : you know (aye, as well as any man you know) of my late adventures at Preston ; you know the infinite pains I have taken to get face to face with you ; you know that of right the seat was mine; you know by what means I am for the present, kept out of it ; ii then, you be sincere in your wish to have demagogues in Parliament, and a demagogue you have called me; if you be sincere in this, now is the time to show your sincerity ! All the world says that some thing must be done : I have said, and I still say, that I would not be two months in the House, before I would submit to it a bill, calculated, in my opinion, to make the na tion once more happy and free, and particularly to sweep away all the present embarrassments, dangers, and sufferings. My opinions, you know, are opposed to yours upon the subject ; I am ready to face you in that assembly where you have at all times a decided majority ; I am ready and willing to expose my self to the risk, if such risk there be, of being put down, laughed at, rendered the scorn of those whom I have hitherto so cordially despised. Come, then, if you and your colleagues have a manly sentiment in your minds ; come, I say, "give me a seat ; place me within reach of the lash that you have in store for de magogues ; place me where I shall "find my level, " and be sunk for ever ! " Nay, answer me not with a fool-born jest;" and, above all things, do not use the ridiculously hypocritical pretence, that lam not a man that you wish to demolish. How gladly, alas ! would you see that demolition ! At any rate, whatever the fact may be, the public belief is, that you and all your col leagues, though you may wish me no harm, would feel much more comfortable than you do now, if you could bear that my bones were as dry as those of old Tommy Paine, who out-lived Pitt, after all the hectoring of the latter, and his threats against the former.

The " Noble Game of Cricket" is now in an active state of revival, among the young and athletic men of Aylesbury and its vicinity. Several small matches have already been played ; and some Grand Match, such as the interesting one of last year, be ' tween Aylesbury and Leighton, is not unlikely to take place before the season ends. On Thursday last was played, at Whitchurch, a match between two gentlemen of the former neighbourhood, and two others of Aylesbury, of which the results were as follow Whitchurch, first innings, ; second ditto, 5. Aylesbury, first innings, 8 ; second innings, 26.—•-On the conclusion of the match, the parties and their friends passed the remainder of the day at the Cock Inn, Whitchurch, with uninterrupted harmony and convi viality.—The return match of these parties will be played at Aylesbury, on Wednesday next.—Bucks Chronicle. FEMALE FASHIONS FOR AUGUST. (From La Belk Assesalie.) MARINE COSTUME.—A round dress of fine India muslin, with a broad trimming at the border, formed of lace, en jabots, placed on in bias ; between the j . abois an elegant embroidery, worked on the muslin, in a pattern of vine leaves. The body is partially low, and en garbe ; the waist encircled with a belt of ce lestial-blue ribbon. Over the bust is a sort of collar cape, in two points, perceptibly separated in front : these points are embroidered at the corners, and are trimmend round with lace : a chemisettc tucker draws round nearly as high as the throat. The sleeves are moderately wide, with mancherons d la Psyche, of muslin, edged with lace ; the wrists finished by a double range of antique points, and confined next the hand with gold bracelets, clasped by an emerald brooch. The hair is arranged in full curls, and very short at the ears. A hat' of white gros de Naples is worn, without either cap or cornetts, and is fancifully ornamented with white gauze and blond ; the crown adorned with large tulips of different colours. The strings of the hat are of celestial-blue ribbon, and float loose. The necklace and car-rings of amber. MORNING DRESS.—A pelisse-robe of jacconot muslin, embroidered down the sides in front, and round the bottom of the skirt, in a rich scalloped pat tern ; a double . pelerine cape falls over the shoulders, and is worked in a correspondent manner : the body is plain, and made to wrap partially over in front. The sleeves are made nearly to fit the arm, and have a very broad scalloped ornament of embroidered muslin at the wrist, turned upwards. The head-dress is a cor vette, discovering but little of the hair, with lappets un confined, of a very fine specimen of Urling's lace, of which there is a great profusion in the fabrication of this novel cornette : between the hollows made by the different windings of the lace, are large puffs of broad pink satin ribbon. A necklace of coral encircles the the throat, and the slippers are of coral red silk. HAY MARKET! (At per Load n 'S --(Tarr DAY.) )f 'l'russes.). Lowland Meado ST.
